TBS - Products for Coverslipping

SHUR/Mount™ Coverslipper

SHUR/Mount™ is the world's leading glass coverslipping machine for histology and cytology. The Meisei RCM-3660 Robotic Coverslipping Machine (formerly distributed by Hacker® Instruments) and the new SHUR/Mount™ are now exclusively represented by TBS® under the trademark SHUR/Mount™.

Proven Technology Combined with New Features

  Utilizing proven pressure-bending technology to minimize air bubbles, SHUR/Mount™ has the capacity of applying 400 high quality glass coverslips per hour. The coverslipping speed is adjustable so the unit accommodates all types of applications. The dispenser has also been redesigned to ensure consistent, bubble-free dispensing of media at the new higher speeds. The new design also automatically stores the dispenser tip in xylene to prevent the needle from drying out.
Simplicity and Versatility
  SHUR/Mount™ is compatible with most types of commercially available mounting media. In addition, the new media bottle attachment allows most mounting media containers to be simply screwed in place. The amount of media dispensed is easily and accurately controlled by the intuitive keypad interface. The unit accepts both xylene and d-limonene based substitutes.
  SHUR/Mount™ is also compatible with most staining machines on the market to eliminate double handling of slide specimens.
Safety First
  Fumes are controlled through the standard ventilation system or the optional charcoal filter system. The optional charcoal filter is ideal for labs with limited ventilation.
Standard Accessories
  SHUR/Mount™ comes standard with three 20 capacity slide baskets (other slide basket sizes optional), three slide collection racks, a basket container & insert, and two reusable coverglass hoppers. The unit accepts coverslip sizes of 24 x (40, 50, 55, & 60) mm.
TBS’s SHUR/Mount™ Mounting Media
  The SHUR/Mount Mounting Media was specifically designed for use in automated coverslippers. It provides consistent bubble-free results that will not yellow with age.
